Over the last month, Madison House and Insomniac have been building anticipation for the 2016 installation of Electric Forest in a film series, Once Upon The Forest. Directed by Colorado-based media production company Cinesthetics, Once Upon The Forest has been an astute method for the event organizers to keep fans abreast of new information for next summer’s festival, while also inspiring interest and celebrating the culture surrounding Electric Forest.

The third installment of the series, “Discovery,” follows “Awakening” and “Inspiration,” respectively. In “Discovery,” a collection of unseen narrators discuss discovering their passions for music and their own experiences with the culture of Electric Forest itself amidst a backdrop of powerfully captured scenes from last year’s festival. Along with the video release comes the announcement of when tickets go on sale. Ticket release dates are administered through various tiers in their loyalty system (wherein past festival goers have advance access to tickets). The first loyalty tier goes on sale December 12th, and tickets will become more accessible over the next two days, before general admission tickets are released December 15th.
